Ae71 Corolla - Mr Hanky

[eiriksmil]

Really hope this goes to a good home.. If you could get RHD cars rego'd here in Norway I'd put down a deposit two weeks ago myself :)

[Johno]

Well i guess this is a bit late to say now its sold but it looks like a really nice ride, i dig the colour too. :)

[silverra23]

The toymods boys wanted a photo of the new owner for some reason... so being the good bloke I am I try to deliver.... shame the sun hadn't come up when she came to collect Mr Hanky this morning!

 

 

If you live out Rowville way you might see Mr Hanky on the streets!

 

Farewell Mr Hanky, you were awesomely brown.

[TheNOBBLER[RL]]

Well, it lasted much longer than I thought it would!

 

I wonder why they wanted a pic of the new owner... Lol

 

did it go with the wheels on it?

[silverra23]

Yes it went with the wheels. They suited it really well and I will probably regret selling them when something else lands in the driveway lol. Just like I regret selling each of my toys hahaha.

 

If any one wants to ask a "ambitious" price for a car, I can highly recommend carsales. Sold it at the $3200 I wanted for it just like that - partly helped by the fact that she wanted a brown square old car (weird!!).

 

I made $40 profit on Mr Hanky.. not quite what I was hoping but oh well.. makes my labour rate about $0.30 an hour :P

[LukeAE71]

So after purchase of $950 and sale at $3200 you only made $40??

 

How so??

I believe the sun and the moon aligned on the sale of this car - the girl wanted a brown square car with a brown interior. Mr Hanky fitted the bill perfectly. All the other enquiries would have haggled it down. But a car with 11 months rego, very straight, new tyres, etc, is going to be worth a little more than what the AE86DC boys want to pay!

Congrats with the sale, couldn't have worked out better for you.

 

Holly bat hell though! you paid $140 for an AE71 steering wheel and $140 for taillights!!!

[silverra23]

Suede "drift style" steering wheel with boss kit for $140 was actually cheap. Could have left the old standard one on it and made another $140, but it was not worth .

 

As was the pair of brand new tail lights.. when everyone wanted $50 each for decent second hand ones that weren't decent, and didn't have decent bulb holders!

[benzo]

Oh fair enough, steering wheel was good price.

 

I had a pair of overrated (and actually overrated) KE70 taillights I sold for $40 a few months back.

[silverra23]

Oh Mr Hanky what has become of you... nearly 12 months on Dave showed me this photo last night.. he tracked her down a few months back and this is what he found....

 

 

I don't know whether to laugh or cry! Poor Mr Hanky has become Mr Hippy....

[Grand Master of Awesome]

OH GOD

[78_7kRolla]

When he showed it to me I couldn't stop laughing for 10 minutes solid.

[KEhendo]

note to self: never sell any car i like to a girl.

[RX-747]

Hahaha ive seen this in an estate in rowville... f@$k JDM thats HDM as f@$k :P... They are also pretty cool wheels, you shouldve kept them though imo... Ahhh well you can't always stop shit like this from happening when you sell a car, just remember it could be worse....
